Hello Seb et Lolo
Today it had its maiden. Raymond (Fotor) made a video, we did only 3 flights, I liked to change some throws and mixers in my transmiter at home.

Hi Sebastian,
The pilot hasn't got broad shoulders, he will get a big head and the plane is very narrow!

Hi Sebastian,
Yes it feels just rigid enough. Calcullongeron says it could withstand 20G. That should be enough!
